After a five-game stretch facing four ranked teams in the top 13, LSU’s current five-game stretch includes three games against opponents in the bottom fourth of the SEC (Texas A&M – 13th, Florida – 14th, and Arkansas – 16th) and a matchup versus Alabama, who currently ranks ninth in the league standings. Before LSU heads to Austin, Texas on Feb. 5, the Tigers traveled to Bryan-College Station and will host three consecutive games.

Junior MiLaysia Fulwiley and freshman Grace Knox led the Tigers’ scoring attack with 23 points and 19 points, respectively against Texas A&M. Fulwiley was all over the stat sheet, recording one rebound, four assists, and five steals. She went 8-of-13 from the field, 3-of-6 from the three-point line and a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line. In addition to her 19 points, Knox had one rebound and went a perfect 9-for-9 from the field with one made free throw.

Senior Amiya Joyner recorded her sixth double-double of the season and the 47th of her collegiate career versus Texas A&M. Joyner finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds and two assists. 

LSU’s perfect night on 20-of-20 free throw attempts against the Texas A&M Aggies matched the program record set at Tennessee on Feb. 13, 1988.

Against Texas A&M on January 22, LSU defeated the Aggies, 98-54, inside Reed Arena on the road in Bryan-College Station. The 44-point margin of victory for the Tigers marked the largest in program history for an SEC victory in a true road contest. LSU’s 44-point win signaled the third largest all-time by a Tiger squad in SEC play and was the largest in an SEC game for LSU since it downed the Alabama Crimson Tide, 84-40, on Jan. 8, 2012.

LSU leads the country in 6 statistical categories: bench points per game (43.0), field goal percentage (52.6), rebound margin (19.4), offensive rebounds per game (18.4), scoring margin (42.9), and scoring offense (99.5).
